What You'll Do
- Formalize mathematical content from natural language sources — textbooks, research articles, exercises — into valid, compilable Lean 4 code
- Translate theorems, lemmas, propositions, and proofs into precise formal representations
- Ensure formal code accurately captures the mathematical meaning and logical structure of original statements
- Review and validate Lean 4 formalizations for correctness, consistency, and logical soundness
- Identify ambiguities, missing assumptions, or logical gaps in informal mathematical descriptions
- Contribute to high-quality datasets pairing human-written mathematics with formal Lean 4 equivalents for AI training
About the Role
What if your deep knowledge of formal proof and mathematical rigor could directly shape how AI reasons about mathematics? We're looking for Lean 4 experts to translate rigorous mathematical content into machine-verified formal proofs — working at the cutting edge of AI development where automation alone isn't enough. This is a fully remote, flexible contract role built for mathematicians and formal verification specialists who want meaningful, high-impact work on their own schedule.
- Organization: Alignerr
- Type: Hourly Contract
- Location: Remote
- Commitment: Flexible — work at your own pace
Who You Are
- Strong hands-on experience with Lean 4 — you write precise, correct, and maintainable formal proofs
- Solid background in mathematics, formal logic, or formal verification
- Comfortable reading advanced mathematical texts and translating them into formal systems
- Exceptional attention to detail and commitment to logical rigor
- Interested in the intersection of AI, automated reasoning, and mathematical verification
Nice to Have
- Experience with other theorem provers or formal systems (Coq, Isabelle, Agda, etc.)
- Prior involvement in AI training, expert annotation, or reasoning-focused dataset creation
- Familiarity with proof assistants or formal methods research
- Background in academic mathematics or computer science research
Why Join Us
- Work at the frontier of AI — your contributions directly improve how AI models reason about mathematics
- Fully remote and flexible — work from anywhere, entirely on your own schedule
- Clearly defined tasks and evaluation criteria — you always know what success looks like
- Top performers are selected for extended engagements and advanced or leadership tracks
- Join a network of elite mathematicians and specialists solving problems automation can't

Common questions
How soon can I start earning on Alignerr after passing the assessment?
Not right away. After passing, you still complete identity verification through Persona and billing setup through Deel, then wait in a pool for weeks or months. You only start earning once a project matching your specific skills launches and assigns you. Don't count on Alignerr income until you're actively placed on a project.
Does Alignerr have a trainer community?
Yes, and it's a genuine strength. Once you're assigned to a project, you join Slack channels where you can get rubric clarifications from admins and talk to other trainers. That kind of support is rare in AI training and matters most when guidelines are ambiguous or shift mid-project.
What does the day-to-day workload look like for elite-expert AI training roles?
Slow and deep, not fast and repetitive. A single task can take 45-60 minutes of researching citations or verifying complex calculations. Quality is what's being measured here, not throughput.
Is AI training work the same as traditional consulting?
No. Instead of client deliverables, you're given complex scenarios to evaluate: grading the AI's logic, correcting its hallucinations, and supplying expert-level reasoning it doesn't have on its own. The job is closer to teaching than consulting.
What does Mathematics work look like for a Lean 4 Mathematical Formalization Expert?
Tasks here are scoped to Mathematics, not generic labeling. As a Lean 4 Mathematical Formalization Expert, expect to draw on real domain judgment (evaluating outputs, correcting errors, or providing expert reasoning specific to Mathematics) rather than following a one-size-fits-all rubric. If you don't have hands-on Mathematics background, this is likely not the right listing to start with.
What specific skills does this listing call for?
Expert is named directly in the listing. If you don't have hands-on experience with this, expect the screening process to test for it directly rather than accepting adjacent experience as a substitute.
How much does this specific role pay?
This listing is posted at $170–$200/hr, an hourly rate. The range reflects experience level and negotiated terms, not a placeholder, so where you land in it depends on your background and the assessment. Pay can change between when we last checked the listing and when you apply, so confirm the current number on the platform's own application page before committing time.
What happens when I click Apply on this listing?
You'll be taken to Alignerr's external site to complete your application there. This listing links through a referral, but the process is identical to applying directly; the link just routes you correctly. Create an account on their site and follow their onboarding steps.
What is the barrier to entry for Alignerr?
A difficult, timed technical assessment in your specific domain, like Python, physics, or language. Passing it is required before you're eligible for any paid projects.
